<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi kent</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> that's the complexity of scheduling a
convention. the local hosts did not have all the SIG's on their preliminary
schedule, and i don't think the CPF presentation was set up yet either. we
certainly did not make any events <EM>longer.</EM></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the most 'free' time we were able to carve out is a
1 hour lapse between scheduled events on wed-thur-fri so folks can grab
something to eat.</FONT></DIV>

went from hearing from the local convention folks that everything fit in the
schedule just fine to then hearing from CORSA (Sarah) that there's no room for
the longer SCG event. The SCG members are just reacting to what we are
told.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

SCG meeting<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gentlemen-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> the corsa board,
convention folks, etc are not denying the SCG a meeting; this is not a "Corsa
VS. STG". we recognize the SCG and have planned all along to scheduled a
time slot that is as long as any other special interest group @ 90 minutes. we
have additionally tried to schedule it during daylight hours so you can opt to
have your meeting outside if you wish to do the car by car look
over.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> convention scheduling is a
very difficult task. we (harry, myself, sarah, chuck, stan, and the <FONT
face="Times New Roman" size=3>andolinos)sp</FONT>ent much time trying to slot
everything into the available time. we have 69 line items on this year's
schedule and only 4 days to hold them all. of particular circumstance this
year is 2 major evening events, a dinner cruise on friday and a CPF
presentation (building the corvair engine) on thursday, so we effectively
"lost' two evenings where we would normally hold some of the
special interest meetings. do you want to have a STG meeting the same time as
the dinner cruise? neither does any other group. we have in the past tried to
keep all the special interest groups in their own non conflicting meeting
time, but of late, because of the tight schedule, now have corvanatics, V8
registry, and oil filter collectors at the same time. this year we added
SCG to the list; we had to overlap ultra van and the STG meeting to make
it all fit. our event schedule already starts at 8 am or earlier every day and
runs to 10 pm.or later, so we don't really have room to go earlier/later in
the day. do we move meetings to tuesday? nobody wants to schedule their
meeting then because it's early on and it's generally felt not everybody will
be there yet. unless we are proposing adding a day to the convention- which is
a completely different topic- we are just flat out of time to add any more non
conflicting events to the schedule.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> announcing the STG meeting day
and time over VV before the convention schedule itself had been worked out was
premature. we don't know how the schedule for a given convention looks until
the convention committee sits down with the local hosts and sorts one out
that is the most reasonable , non conflicting schedule we can do given the
days available. i believe we did that.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> i am sorry there were not
slots available for the SCG to hold a regular chapter meeting
<STRONG><EM>AND</EM></STRONG> a SCG event in the lot without going timewise
against some other convention events. the SCG can utilize it's scheduled
time slot on thursday 3:30-5:00 PM any way you like. and, as sarah mentioned,
if at the conclusion of that meeting, if you feel there's more to cover and
want to organize an unofficial gathering at some other time during the
convention, that's ok with us- it just won't be on the published
schedule.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> in summary, i want to restate
that this whole recent SCG thread has been taking a "Corsa VS. SCG", and
that is not the case. the convention committee is simply trying to
schedule the SCG meeting- along with the 7 other special interest groups
chapters- in reasonable time slots along with all the other many events
and tours that make up a corsa convention</FONT></DIV>
